SSX The Review.

When the PS2 was released in 2000 it had a lot of great launch titles. One being SSX this was the first of the next gen snowboarding games unless you count dark summit. The game had critical acclaim and sprouted a bunch of sequels and many handheld versions including one for the PSP.

Fast foward 12 years and EA is at it again with the relaunching of SSX this title originally called SSX Dark Decent then later retitled. Tells the story of 3 famous sports athletes who were all characters in the original games Mac, Zoe, and Griff they all band together to conquer 9 deadly descents on the planet. Unfortunately Griff separates from the team and creates his own so now it is a race against time for Team SSX to beat Team Griff.

The game is amazing it reminds me of SSX Tricky it also has a lot of remnants of the first SSX game. This time around though your costume along with your board does make a large difference for how you play. That and this time around everything you do gain you money or SSX credits from spending extra time in the air to grinding a large distance.

The graphics are very up to par the meet the EA standard and are again amazing for the first next gen iteration of SSX. The only gripe that i have with the game is like all recent EA games it comes with and online pass which again in my opinion is destroying the gaming industry.

All in all this new iteration of the SSX franchise is an amazing start. It is a great addition to anyone's collection and the learning curve isnt that steep as well.  So from me to you this is definitely a must buy.
